The British marriage equality has passed the House of Commons and is now before the House of Lords. Things could get weird. Or weirder. The coalition that actually passed the bill in the Commons somehow fractured the conservative party. It is unclear how that will play out. Up to 26 bishops of the Church of England may sit in the House of Lords. though usually only 2 are in attendance. If the bill fails by just a couple votes, will the Church of England feel the backlash? Is this a chance for the CofE to play nice with other denominations by defeating the bill for them? What kind of constitutional crisis is set off if the Lords rejects a bill the Commons approved? Will that make the Lords somehow become irrelevant?
A gay teen couple made it into their yearbook as the "Cutest Couple." This is a first for this particular high school (alas, unnamed). Congratulations to Dylan and Brad. This is the part of the story I like: Dylan and Brad have been so thoroughly supported in their relationship they consider it normal. All this media attention for it is a bit frightening.
